I am thrilled to share some wonderful news with you.

Next week, you will see a dramatic change to our cardio space. Through a new partnership with Technogym, official fitness equipment suppliers to the Olympics, we are installing 13 new cardiovascular machines , which will be operational by December 10th  2014.

This new chapter allows us to offer you state of the art fitness and inspire our Balance family to lead richer and more active lives through culture, exercise and learning.

The new equipment features Technogym's latest innovations, to engage the community in physical activity. UNITY™ is the most advanced, open Android-based user platform in the market. It features swipe-screen touch technology, Virtual Training, simple log-in access to personalized content and enhanced entertainment experiences through Internet, TV, games and more, yet remarkably simple to use; Vario – an adaptive stride cross trainer and Excite® – updated upright and recline bike models that replicate the sensation of riding a real road bike. The biomechanics and ergonomic design offer a variety of positions to improve rider comfort and accessibility as well as performance, are just a few of the products to be introduced.

Thank you for your loyalty and enjoy the ride.
